Bring authentic West African flavour to your kitchen with Ngu (Edible Palm Ash), a traditional Nigerian cooking ingredient used as a natural soup thickener and food softener. Made from the ash of carefully burned palm stalks or unripe plantain stems, Ngu is a pantry staple in many African homes, particularly for traditional soups from Southeastern Nigeria.
Just a small amount helps create the smooth, silky consistency that makes homemade soups rich and authentic. It can also help soften vegetables and legumes during cooking.
